Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Your information is mostly incorrect. AIA has been out for almost a year for consumers. The primary focus is on copper migrations, but we have also been rapidly expanding it as an option for new broadband customers.

AT&T wants to dump pots lines. AIA is just a big fake out to fool the government regulators into allowing AT&T to pivot away from providing services to communities still connected by pots. AT&T has been using the RCRF ($1.75) fees collected from millions of customers each month for the last two decades to pay bonuses to executives. That money was meant to sustain pots. AIA is not a real solution. It won’t support a third of a neighborhood. But watch AT&T marketing pull the hustle by cherry picking a few examples of people with improved service.

This product is a joke. They were trying to make up the low numbers in the 1st quarter. Knowing there infrastructure wasn’t ready. It truly only meant for a backup internet solution not primary internet solution. They need to figure out a guarantee phone solution and make sure this will work on cameras and security systems.

The service isn’t new, just a new name/rebranded.

I interviewed for a marketing manager job with this team and the hiring director admitted that this product is extremely limited. That was 2 years ago. Only AT&T would back a loser.
